demelone Valued Member United States 137 Posts	Posted 08/05/2019 5:01 pm Looks like a hit to me, the metal possibly being pushed up. Can we get a close up of the area? Report this Post to the Staff
SilverCents Pillar of the Community United States 3281 Posts	Posted 08/05/2019 5:01 pm Thought it might be that, keeper? Edit (It isn't a hit, a hit wouldn't have created an area like that.) Sorry that the image is flipped. Edited by SilverCents 08/05/2019 5:08 pm Report this Post to the Staff

demelone Valued Member United States 137 Posts	Posted 08/05/2019 5:10 pm Thank you for the close up. I stand corrected. I now favor the die chip possibility. Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34458 Posts	Posted 08/05/2019 7:50 pm That seems like a very common place for die cracks, chips, and RIDBs to form. I guess that is why we see so many "cracked skulls".

SilverCents Pillar of the Community United States 3281 Posts	Posted 08/05/2019 8:06 pm What would be a good nickname for this coin? I would like to give it some sort of specialty. Don't think it would be a "cracked skull," as it's in the hair. Report this Post to the Staff
